Michelle Grabner Lecture

This visiting artist lecture was very boring to me. She started off by saying how much is love education. She said that there was two things that really made her do what she does. One is that she is devoted to education and act and all of it forms. And the second one is the relationship in between the make and the act of seeing. She started talking about a few projects that she is working with. The first one that was talked about, and that I remember the most about, was call the Suburban. The Suburban is somewhere in Illinois. The idea behind it was to build an art studio in the Suburban. The Suburban is best know for where housewives are, where kids go to school and where your nearest grocery store is, but it was not known for the created life. She talked about what was important or what was called Suburban to her, like her dog, her kids, and her husbands. And the point of the Suburban is to bring the public to her. So the art studio being there would fill that void. I guess that a good idea, but my only problem is how vulgar art can get sometime. I don’t know if parents would want that near by. She went on to talk about other people project and work. I didn’t like that she decided to show and talk about her work at the very end of her lecture. She kind of rushed though her work and I didn’t like that.
